IMPROVEMENT IN SCARFS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 208,486, dated October 1, 1878; application filed March 13, 1878.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, CHARLES CLAUDIUS Norns and DAVID WILLIAM Noxns, both of Boston, in the county of Suifolk and Commonwealth of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Scarfs, which improvement is set forth in the following full, clear, and exact description, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

Figure 1 is an outline view of our improved scarf, and Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the front of the scarf, showing the effect of the improvement.

The object of our invention is to improve the appearance of the scarf by constructing it so as to relieve its monotonous appearance, increase its beauty and neatness, and secure greater durability.

The improvement consists in constructing the scarf with the pieces a b c d placed over the upper corners or ends of the side pieces 0 b c d f of the scarf. The silk or other material of which the side pieces 0 b c d f are made may be extended up under the superposed pieces a b c d in which case, when the upper corners of the scarf become worn or soiled, they may be removed, and the scarf will then be like others in ordinary use, and will present a fresh new surface; or, in order to economize the material of the scarf, the side pieces may extend only a short distance under the pieces a b c d to the dotted lines g h, and in this case the upper ends of the side piecesthat is, the stiffening and 1iningas well as the silk forming the face of the scarf, may be cut off at the line 9 h.

The outside pieces a I) c (I may be made of the same material as the rest of the scarf, or of different material, so as to give a pleasing effect, and they may also be varied in size and shape as fancy may dictate.

Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The combination of the pieces a I) c d with the scarf, substantially as shown and described.

2. The combination of the pieces a b c d with the scarf, when the upper ends of the side pieces extend only to the lines 9 h, substantially as shown and described.
